| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, our purpose is to realize the high sensitive and high resolution optical imaging with near-field scanning optical microscopy using photon-induced force detection, and to elucidate mechanism of the imaging with atomic resolution. As a result, we demonstrated atomic resolution imaging of the near-field on the α-Al2O3 (0001) surface of a prism. The surface aluminum atoms were imaged as bright spots. We investigated the spatial distribution of the near-field by scanning at different tip-sample distances and found that the atomic corrugation of the near-field signal was observed at greater distances than that of the atomic force microscopy signal. This result suggests that the optical image is imaged by a change of the polarizability for the electric field of the surface atom.
